What do you think of the Craig List? Do you use it or not?

Just wondering,

Craigslist is a cool site but the Seoul page is total crap right now. Just look at "Men Seeking Women"... nothing but lame white guys in America looking for a mail-order bride, who write a whole two sentences about themselves. I like the guy who just wrote, "I am a handsome American guy."

My favorite is the guy who was looking for a girl during his visit to Guam. His picture made him look like Farva from Super Troopers.

I never heard of it before now.

Is it? I thought it would be the spanker in Geyeonggi-do.

I'll go and check into a nice hotel in my best suit and tie. You come in wearing a miniskirt and carrying a TERRIBLE report card. I pull you over my lap, pull your xxxxxxxxxxx until you can't sit down. Sniffling, you stand, pull xxxxxxx up and apologize. If your apology isn't sufficiently profuse and sincere it's back over the lap you go.

If you like being spanked, I want to hear from you. Send me your favorite spanking scenario and let's find a way to make each other happy.

I've just noticed the "Best of..." listing of supposedly great parts of that site:

They just seem... stupid.

It's a great site, but some cities are active and some aren't. The Asian cities are all pretty new so they don't have any traffic. In Boston, NYC, San Francisco, and LA they're fantastic communities. Even though I didn't live there, I posted my resume on LA's site for China jobs and got some good responses. Maybe its' about time I do that again.

I never used it for Seoul - nothing much there.

Used it nearly everyday when I lived in San Francisco though.

I copied this from the best of list:

Just a few observations from a human being who rides the F train:
[Taken from actual events]

1. If you're going to be a beggar, don't come wildly running onto the train with no shoes, stinking like you slept in a fucking stable, while screaming some guttural yawp and expect people to give you money. You look like a botulism stricken yeti.

2. When you're a retarded hip hop douche wearing a thugged out maternity wear t-shirt, you ought to check the volume on your headphones. I don't mind that they're loud, I just think that when you are trying to look really hard you probably don't want everyone knowing that you're listening to 'I ain't too proud to beg' by TLC.

3. Congratulations. You didn't suffocate on that long voyage in shipping container, and now you've finally made it to America. Just a little advice: take the time to look around and notice nobody else is transporting live chickens in a DHL box on the F train.

4. If you want to bring the 13x7 foot wood mantle frame back to your house, do yourself a solid, and take a cab or have it shipped.

5. If you're a hassidic Jew and you are making out with a black tranny hooker—I say mozeltov, *beep*...mozeltov.

6. When you were born, your mother always dreamed you would use your hands to shovel that fetid tin of pork-fried rice into your cold sore riddled mouth. She's so proud of you.

Very funny, Periwinkle. Very Happy

The Craig's List is prety slow here in Seoul, but who knows, maybe it'll pick-up sometime soon.

There is a Korean "copy" of one, but there is no English (yet).
